I feel like making his red a shade or two darker and less metallic would work wonders for improving the aesthetics, cleaning the back up too definitely. I feel like the pelvis is slightly off too? Too long almost. Otherwise this guy is literally perfect, no doubt the simplest and most fun transformation of any of the masterpiece figures I know, including third party
Dude! Awesome. That transformation was easier than I expected. You showed and talked about a lot in 12 minutes. Good job. I don't know what he will look like in person but the red paint looks awesome in this video.
I believe the G1 Ironhide was a Chevy Astro. Back in the days when minivans were a new thing. Now, I very well could be wrong, but that's what he appears to me.
Takara has a tough time with making red and yellow figures uniform in color. Is it possible to hide the face in the windshield in alt mode? and where did it go in robot mode? I think the proportions would have looked better in robot mode if they made the alt mode more squarish, but then the alt mode would be wrong.
Love him. VERY poseable and stable. My only complaint is some parts are tough to transform due to stiffness of the joints and the face falls off too easily during transformation.
Someone with more money than sense and is also a Transformers fan should buy a Nissan Sunny Vanette SGL and do a custom paint job and remodeling into a life sized Iron Hide van.
I just got me a whole bunch of transformers takara masterpieces, shockwave..Ironhide.. ramjet..hot rod..thundercraker...optimus prime and their all awesome figures
Not bad, if not perfect. Thanks for this thorough review baltmatrix. One thing to note: your cat left hairs all over the place. The figure, the camera lens, your hands and what not. =P If I may say though, you might want to get a rubbing screen for your cat, it'll keep the hair and leave the house habitable. ^_~
you called Ironhide fragile? That's blasphemy! His name is IRONHIDE! HE IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF FRAGILE! sorry for freaking out on you there, I just wanted to share my opinion on him. Great review man!
can someone do a comparison of MP Ironhide next to the I-Gear ironhide Plz or can i get someone's opinion on which one to get, Thank you also great review mate keep it up xD
did you know that in ironhide and ratchet the shoulders are misassembled and the right shoulder joint goes to the left and the left shoulder joint goes to the right
i think my minds still on what i thought in the prototype pictures sure hope some 3rd party company designs a new pelvis it throws off his hips and torso proportions so much and just looks like hes wearing a diaper
Cynical marketing answer aside, it's because the Autobots were weak in Sunbow and only plot armour in the series kept them from being murdered sooner. Every major death in the Movie was justified. Not just for selling new toys either.
There is NONTHIN we're gonna be able to do about that, like damn it, but everything else colorwise, sculptwise, is better with a smoother transformation.
+Algernon Kong The robot diaper is VERY cartoon accurate and it's correct like it is. tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/thumb/3/32/TheImmobilziler_ironhide.jpg/270px-TheImmobilziler_ironhide.jpg The stupid pieces on the hips are not cartoon accurate at all. My only complain about this figure.
Man im an 85er myself and what looks bad just looks bad. Dont educate me on what i already know, sure hes not supposed to have wheels on his butt either! Point is the animation model was obviously for a simpler design to mass create and the robo diaper wouldnt be missed if they made ironhide like perhaps in the dreamwave art.
if you press read more and you're allergic to cats you'll learn something you're actually allergic to the cat's dandruff which is something in the cat's fur that make you allergic
Great review! That van mode is adorable.
+JobbytheHong Ehy you look like the batman guy I follow on youtube
+XCATX25 Swi...swivel?
JobbytheHong are you the funny you tube man?
Insert cancer joke here
hello father
If I remember correctly, Ratchet was the one with two pistols in the movie...before he died.
First time i met my stepdad when i was 3 he had a similar van, i used to call it an Ironhide covert ops

loving your camera bro...crispy as all hell!! solid quick review!
The cardboard with the dinosaur bone goes to his chest cuz its from the episode when they discovered the bones and formed the Dinobots
Wow I like how complicated the transformation is / it really makes him look awesome
So happy he is a good figure. He was my favorite Autobot back in G1. I really liked him and his "Heroic Nonsense." Great Review!
whoah, still thought we had awhile before this was released
The cardboard cut out is for recreating when he got shot in the movie
2:24 “ There’s a cat hair in there thanks kitties”-Baltmartix
I don't know who this 'Ironhide' is, all I know is ARHNHADE.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDEEEEEEEE!!!
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the silver piece on his chest (7:55) simply REFUSES to move. Does anyone have advice?
I believe the G1 Ironhide was a Chevy Astro. Back in the days when minivans were a new thing. Now, I very well could be wrong, but that's what he appears to me.
Whisper Darkling really? what about the front section of the astro?ironhide's car mode's front is not flat
a really wonderful piece to see. thanks balt for the share :D
I find if you do not pull the legs out his height in robot mode is much more to scale with Prime and the others.
love your reviews dude, just got mine masterpiece iron hide today so happy i got it

That'd be awesome;
Ryan Martinez and wish he could transform.
The cardboard piece is to insert in his chest so he when he uses his sensor it appears to find a skeleton
Do not touch his wheels in vehicle mode...especially of you don't know which ones are his butt checks
Great review man :) the figure is an excellent representation of a classic character
We are getting a Ratchet from Takara as well as Optimus Primal for the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars. What do you think about these 2?
+Joseph Riley I can not wait!
It looks like a good quality toy with nothing flopping around.
Like a Masterpiece should be.
+Jarmo Verriet Exactly dude.
I just got me a whole bunch of transformers takara masterpieces, shockwave..Ironhide.. ramjet..hot rod..thundercraker...optimus prime and their all awesome figures
This is my favorite version of him.
what would you think of a repaint rehead of RD Grimlock called Dinobot
Paint accident
Machine was running low on paint
I asked since mine is worse with the red and missing the yellow stripe
i been wanting this iron hide for ever
Wow this guy looks way better than the early photos did. How hard is it to photograph a plastic toy?
He looks really good.
They should base a truck Ironhide off of the G1 robot mode.
JOBBY IS BACK!
My gosh, that's THE Ironhide from my childhood! Whould give a lot (cash) for it...
I prefer beast formers (and would like more beast formers MP's in the future) but Ironhide looks great in both forms.
I ordered this guy yesterday, I'm just waiting for it to arrive
To baltmatrix what are your cats names
YAS! ITS HERE!
how much was this guy with shipping and handleing
heard some very negative thoughts about this figure. Mostly about that diaper around his waist. How is he compared to Prowl?
on the shoulders the screws have to go on the back
It's a good figure, but my buggiest pet peeve is his waist looks like he is wearing a diamond shaped robo nappy.
Is he in stores?
could you review more masterpiece figures sometime pls
Not bad, if not perfect. Thanks for this thorough review baltmatrix. One thing to note: your cat left hairs all over the place.

Ironhide: Weapons Specialist and Minivan.

What Optimus prime masterpiece is displayed with Ironhide?
can someone do a comparison of MP Ironhide next to the I-Gear ironhide Plz or can i get someone's opinion on which one to get, Thank you also great review mate keep it up xD
At 2:21 the undercarriage looks pretty good there's a cat hair in there thanks kittys
I have a 89' white Nissan Vanette given to me from my dad ❤
did you know that in ironhide and ratchet the shoulders are misassembled and the right shoulder joint goes to the left and the left shoulder joint goes to the right
So what you're saying is that old timer's shouldn't have beer guts? =O
i think my minds still on what i thought in the prototype pictures sure hope some 3rd party company designs a new pelvis it throws off his hips and torso proportions so much and just looks like hes wearing a diaper
Ironhide's robot head and face looks like Hot Rod/Rodimus. Ironhide Prime, use the Matrix of Leadership to light our darkest hour!
when is ratchet gonna come out
March 23 or there about
ok
+dkrattrap 1 April 23 sorry
I wonder if this figure will ever be sold in America, if he's not already.
it's the takara version so no (store wise at least)
its a van that turns into a robot and its looks odd
::stratching head::
The Legacy Thunder Megazord is out!!!!!
rid is what I ment
sadly no peter cullen voice
oh well
why did he and so many others get murdered in the movie?
Master Farr because Hasbro was to kill off old characters to introduce new characters. more characters=PROFIT!!!!
Cynical marketing answer aside, it's because the Autobots were weak in Sunbow and only plot armour in the series kept them from being murdered sooner. Every major death in the Movie was justified. Not just for selling new toys either.
Who else can't wait for Ratchet!?
Transformers G 1 and I don't know what to tell u 80s TV watching home
School go to 🏠home
At2:24 there's a cat hair in there thanks kittens
Thanks kitties
Nice !
At 2:21 the undercarriage looks fine there's a cat here in there thanks kittys
Oh shoot my cat got there cat hair in the undercarriage of the figure thanks a lot kittys
Iron hide needs to hide his butt
There's a cat hair in there thanks kitties
Great review! But imma going pass on this one.
He's a real diaper dandy!
i would laugh if it was just a straight up oversized g1 ironhide
Same.
least he's not topheavy :D
Waaayy more cartoon acurate than voodoo
+Jordan Harrington yes because the cartoon had hip-doors drooping down his waist ¬_¬
There is NONTHIN we're gonna be able to do about that, like damn it, but everything else colorwise, sculptwise, is better with a smoother transformation.
He's got kitties !?
Going to get ratchet instead
As well as primal
Hold on what Van is this again , I know it's Ironhide but what's the name of the van.
If I'm correct he and ratchet are Nissans
Insert pokemon/flatearther memes here...
Sad about the robo diaper tho..
to me, that was there since the 80's
+Algernon Kong The robot diaper is VERY cartoon accurate and it's correct like it is. tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/thumb/3/32/TheImmobilziler_ironhide.jpg/270px-TheImmobilziler_ironhide.jpg
The stupid pieces on the hips are not cartoon accurate at all. My only complain about this figure.

trying actively to recreate the g1 look should have negative repercussions.. it's a sin
Peter Gianakopoulos Dude that's the whole point of the Masterpiece line.
detecting written sarcasm is not in your skill set i see..hihiihhi
if you press read more and you're allergic to cats you'll learn something
you're actually allergic to the cat's dandruff which is something in the cat's fur that make you allergic
meh,not a big fan of that forearm
better as a female. Give him a wig! and the front is holding 36NNN.
Thumbs up for cat hair!!!
9:26 DAT ASS X3
:O
4th commen and 5th like
Such heroic nonsense
